Bounty on sparrows.

At the last meeting of the Deer
Creek Farmers Club the protection Of
birds was discussed James w. Hanna
was in favor of taking off the bounty
on hawk heads. If they come to your
chicken roosts take gun and shoot
them. Indeed, he was opposed to XII
ling birds of any kind, even English
sparrows. Crows and blackbirds pull
up little corn, but they also pick
up great many insects. They had
followed him this spring while he was
working corn, and gathered up guam
titles of them.
James Lee thought it would be better
to repeal the bounty on hawks and
put it on English sparrows. In some
places one cent apiece is paid for them,
not less than twenty five being receiv-
ed at "a time. The country is paying
out now about $500 year for hawk
heads. This sum would pay for so,
600 sparrows at cent apiece.

a Now SWindic.

A new method of swindling is being in
troduced, which is said to be working very
successfully. The victim is usually a
countryman. who receives a circular-letter
informing him that a distant relative in
Philadelphia has just died, and that the
deceased had left him $4,000. Old Hayseed
is cautioned to say very little upon the
subject, and is told to come to the city as
soon as possible, with about $250to pay the
legal expenses. If he does not smell a rat
he follows the instruction and meets the
agent at a hotel. He is conducted to
an office, and $4,000 in crisp new bills are
counted out to him and done up in a pack
age. lie pays the illegal expenses" and he
is then given a package, the exact counter
part of that containingthe bills, which lie
is advi sed to send home by express. When
he arrives at homo and secures the package
he hurries to his room and tears off the
paper, only to find a brick, some waste
paper and sawdust. Several Complaints
have been made to the police authorities
of Philadelphia by persons who have been
swindled by this method, but thus far no
arrests have been made.
